Local law school has one of worst employment records
I'm sorry, but again I don't follow your comment. I am speaking in terms of higher education in general, not laws schools in particular. My only reference to law schools was that my belief is that there are more defaults in 4yr schools than law schools so the problem extends to the broader spectrum of higher education, not just laws schools. I waasn't excluding law schools, I was including ALL schools.— October 19, 2012 9:36 a.m.

Uh, yeah, I am sure of where we were and it was Tulsa. We were downtown at the convention center for what then known as the American Bowling Congress national championship, 1985 if I remember right. We didn't stray too far from the hotel, except for Sunday, and I don't remember anything but flat country flying in. That said, I'll grant you 26 or so years is a long time and my recollection could be faulty, although my wife remembers the same thing. Add to that the fact that we've been to OKC a few time for the WCWS, and I'm sure I know the difference.— October 18, 2012 8:43 p.m.

Or it could have the opposite affect. Tougher qualifications for loans could take affect, which would likely result in fewer loans being offered. That would result in less total tuition and fees being collected, which obviously means a drop in revenue. There would only be two ways to increase revenue. Lower the necessary loan qualifications to increase the amount of people attending or raise tuition and fees to increase total revenue per student.. It happens every day in all kinds of businesses. And I am not referring to just law schools. I am referring to the broader spectrum of student loans. I would have to believe that there are far more student loans, and thus loan defaults, to "regular" colleges than there are to just law schools.— October 18, 2012 7:35 p.m.

I'm not sure I follow your logic. Do you think that having the schools carry the paper will really bring down the cost of tuition that much? To me, that solution doesn't address issue of what you called "schooling that is way over priced". It doesn't matter who provides the loans if the tuition costs stay the same. It would simply make it harder to get loans, which could actually result in higher tuition costs. It would seem to me that solution would simply lead to much tougher requirements to get the the loans in the first place and would really have a negligible affect on the actual cost of tuition.— October 18, 2012 5:16 p.m.

Not at all. surfpuppy619 has been very vocal about what he thinks the problem is. I'm just curious as to whether or not he has an idea of what the solution is.— October 18, 2012 3 p.m.
Coach-Provocateur Turner and Philip Rivers perform ritual seppuku following Monday Night Football debacle
Speaking as someone who had their team leave for those proverbial greener pastures, I'm quite certain that I would rather have no team than this team. Please Mr. Spanos, IF the L.A. stadium ever comes to fruition, don't stay away mad, just stay away. LOL— October 18, 2012 2:57 p.m.

Went to Tulsa one, many years ago, probably mid '80's. It seemed as though the entire place rolled up the carpets and closed the doors at about 8pm. The only place we could find to get a drink was in the hotel bar. I don't remember any place opening before noon an Sunday. The only good thing I can remember was an all you can eat steak place. It was a little expensive, but it was steak after all and as I remember, it was pretty good. Oh yeah, and it was flat; not a hill as far as the eye could see.— October 18, 2012 11:37 a.m.

You get no disagreement from me. Perhaps something I wrote made you think otherwise?? We were lucky. Neither my wife nor myself had to worry about paying for school, though admittedly even a school like Berkeley was much much less expensive 45 yrs ago. And thankfully, we were able to make sure neither of our daughters had to worry about paying foe school, but I know they are in the minority. What would your solution be??— October 18, 2012 11:30 a.m.
